From Slides to Slideshows

Once your presentation is ready, you can take it to the stage and present to your audience using the slideshow viewer. The viewer shows one non-hidden slide at a time and gives you everything you need to deliver a smooth presentation: navigation controls, options for how slides are revealed, animations and transitions, fullscreen mode, and live annotation tools like scribbling and whiteboard.

Slides can be displayed either as whole slides or revealed step by step. Animations can be applied both between slides and within slides for a polished, professional look.

Controls & Buttons

The slideshow has three main sets of controls: a top toolbar, a bottom navigation bar, and annotation buttons overlaid directly on the slide.

Top Toolbar

• Dark/Light Mode – Switch between light and dark themes.

• Fullscreen – Make the slideshow fill your screen or exit fullscreen.

• Settings (Options) – Adjust how your slides are shown:

  • Slide Reveal: Show the whole slide at once, or reveal it step by step.
  • Animations Between Slides: Turn on/off and choose the animation style for slide transitions.
  • Animations Within Slides: Turn on/off and pick an animation style for partial reveals (only available in step-by-step mode).

• First Slide – Jump straight to the first slide.

• Last Slide – Jump straight to the last slide.

• Quit Show – Exit the slideshow and return to your slide list.

Table of Contents

You can open the Table of Contents from the toolbar. It lists all slide titles, and clicking a title jumps directly to that slide.

Bottom Navigation

• Previous / Next Buttons – Move back and forth through slides.
• Progress Bar – Shows your current position in the deck.

Keyboard shortcuts for quick navigation:

• ⬅️ Backspace → Previous slide
• ⏎ Enter / ␣ Space → Next slide
• ❌ X Button → Quit slideshow

Transitions & Animations

Slides can be displayed in two ways:

Whole Reveal (Default)

The entire slide appears at once.

Partial Reveal (Beta)

Slide content appears step by step, perfect for revealing lists or ideas one fragment at a time.

Animations

Animations make your presentation feel smooth and dynamic:

1. Between Slides – Animations when moving from one slide to another.
2. Within Slides – Animations for each fragment when using partial reveal.

You can customize animation types from the settings menu.

Annotation (Scribbling)

The slideshow includes live annotation tools so you can draw directly on slides while presenting.

Annotation Controls

Located at the top-right of the slide:

• Pencil – Turn annotation mode on or off.
• Ink Color & Line Width – Pick the pen color and size.
• Eraser – Remove parts of your drawing.
• Trash – Clear all annotations at once.
• Whiteboard Mode – Replace the slide with a blank canvas (white in light mode, black in dark mode) for freehand drawing.
